It is implanted in Malaga, a farm, in which it has a glass tile roof, which is capable of absorbing energy to supply the home with heating and hot water. The Swedish company that has carried out this construction, has devised this type of roof in which it is made of glass tile, which, apart from giving it a hairsalon outside of conventional, it will have the same function as a traditional solar panel.
This roof will be able to absorb the sun's energy and distribute it throughout the house to have heating and hot water, which will save your owners from 50% to 90% of total energy consumption. The company Sun Tech Energy, is the pioneer in implementing this type of conventional energy saving in Spanish homes, and the one that has promoted this project that has already been carried out, in which what it intends is to take advantage of the more than 3.000 hours of sunshine that the province of Malaga has throughout the year.
Now implanted in homes, in the not too distant future this aesthetic and energy saving will be seen in hotels, historic buildings or golf courses, implementing this system even more than the usual solar panels. Apart from being able to replace a normal roof, it will act like the solar panel. The glass tiles, give way to the solar radiation, and thanks to the installed collector, it absorbs energy, causing it to pass into the water in the system circuit, causing it to reach very high temperatures. This circuit is also found in the water tanks, also reaching the natural heating of an entire building.
The price of the installation is usually more expensive than a conventional roof, although now there are subsidies, but it can save you on the bill and on the CO2 emissions equivalent to 165 kilos. It can produce in one square meter of glass roof, a power of 600 kilowatts per year. In a period of about three years you will have the investment amortized, reaching up to 90% from now. More than fifty countries are already interested in this innovative glass ceiling capable of producing energy.
Where can you buy these glass roofs in Spain? Does the Swedish company have distribution in Spain?
